GAC draw
This is at least the 3rd time I’m loosing to a higher GP player in GAC. I’m in chromium with a 7.6million GP roster and just fought a 11.5million GP roster. 1364-1364, guess who’s taking the win home...

1.) But that lower gp player DIDN'T play better. If they did they would have won not tied.
However, the lower GP has played better to get into the position to play the match up. If the lower GP had played/built their account equally as badly as the higher GP player, they'd be in a lower league/division.
Lower GP player deserves the tie-break, IMO. The fact I've never had one (to my knowledge), and that I have been playing since GA/GAC started, suggests that it's such a small thing it isn't worth worrying about either way, nor would people attempt to game the system in some way.
Did the lower player really play better to get into that matchup? Because all we hear on these threads is complaining about the larger accounts sandbagging into lower leagues. I'd say its more lower players being about where they should be and the larger players probably should be higher(if they played with full effort and ability). We've seen time and time again on these threads that a lot of the people complaining have a largely overinflated view of what league they should be in.
While I admire the underdog spirit I just don't think you should get the win. Especially because while in this thread its a drastic gp difference but it can lead to some absurd results if people are close enough in gp where its from toons that had no impact on the round.

So, why should the 'sandbagger' be rewarded? Would it not be better to reward the player that is trying harder?
Or are you saying that rewarding the higher GP player helps to re-address league imbalances?
I'm the first person to say that GP is a poor determiner as to who's the better player. However, rewarding the larger account in this rare situation, doesn't seem right to me.

This is one distinct situation though. We could come up with 100 equally distinct situations to favour each side. For me, logically, it should go to the person who's done the better job. The player that has progressed the most (or done down the least) is the player doing the better job in GAC and should therefore be rewarded with the tie-break.
